  The SAP error message GT373 indicates that there are old columns that have been deleted from a database table, which can occur during various operations such as data migration, table restructuring, or when applying updates. This error typically arises when the system attempts to access or manipulate data in a table that has undergone structural changes, and the old columns are no longer present.
  Cause:
  
  Table Structure Changes: The error often occurs when the structure of a database table has been modified (e.g., columns removed) but the application or program is still trying to reference those old columns.

  Check Table Structure: Verify the current structure of the table in question using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility). Ensure that the application logic is updated to reflect the current structure.

  Rebuild or Adjust Views: If the error is related to database views that include the deleted columns, those views need to be adjusted or rebuilt to exclude the old columns.
  Data Migration Scripts: If this error occurred during a data migration, review the migration scripts to ensure they are correctly aligned with the current table structure.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
